Magic Tree House

The Magic Tree House series has been on-going since 1992 and was created by Mary Pope Osborne. The series is split into two main groups, the original series for younger kids, and the Merlin Missions for older kids. The basic premise is that Jack and Annie find a magic tree house where if they pick up a book inside and say they want to go to a location in the book, they go there. Most of the books follow 4-book arcs, so each line of books should be read in order. All of the books have some relation to time or movement in their title as well.

The Merlin Missions and original series originally were numbered together, but the series was re-released and split them apart, so the order of the books can get confusing. I’m going to be using re-release numbers because it’s way easier to follow.

Each book has a Fact Tracker/Research Guide book to go along with it that explains factual information about things present in the book. They were originally called Research Guides but were later called Fact Trackers.

Mary Pope Osborne also wrote a two book series, the Spider Kane books, which I’ll include on this page as well.
